Labor Day is an odd holiday

Labor Day is an odd holiday, where historically celebrated are the forceful monopolies of trades by unions. To be consistent, corporate monopolies should be celebrated as well. Instead, society honors with holidays some forms of monopolization while demonizing thus criminalizing with antitrust laws other forms of monopolization.

The confusion begins with the common inability to distinguish between monopolies festered by government's political favors and legal leverages versus monopolies fostered by consumers' priorities and preferences. Government-determined monopolies are longstanding per political/legal forces, detrimentally effectual per limited supply (or selection), lower quality and higher prices for consumers. Consumer-driven monopolies are temporary per persisting competition, beneficially effectual per personal priorities and preferences thus individuals freely consenting and dissenting among goods and services.

It is the inherent clash between political presumption at the behest of corporations as well unions seeking to force and control within a monopolized market (hence Cronyism, simply a close cousin to Fascism), versus personal prerogatives seeking to consent or dissent within a truly free market (hence Capitalism, merely a subset of Individualism).

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
